Really nice macros and I hate bugs. Daisy & Coneflower are so sharp and clear. The first swallowtail larvae is actually beautiful. Teriffic focus and dof.

Those are all great shots, so clear, crisp and the colors pop. I never thought flies could look so good. I usually just swat em, never think to shoot em.
